Writing of a few posts are underway at the moment for me.

Lots of different topics.

We have got back a couple of replies to the complaints my friends made against a local pubs complete mistreatment of them because of a guide dog. I promised I would write a post, so now I can. That’s coming up.

Another incident recently from my holiday that another complaint was made about. Both of these issues are regarding not understanding or seemingly having no compassion for people with sightloss.

Anyway. Less of that ☺️ A few are to do with my recent holiday and what we experienced as Special Assistance travellers being 2 visually impaired people, and a friend needing a wheelchair and what I found different this time seeing when I went away before this year, I hadn’t been even been diagnosed yet. So my eyesight was fine then.

I’ve thought of a few handy tips too.

It’ll be abit ranty for a few of them. This is unfortunately due to what I’ve experienced alot recently being either sight impaired myself or through my friends.

There has to be more awareness. We have to spread it louder and stronger than this. I try in my own little way, but it’s really not enough.

I’ve seen alot of compassion though. People that do care make the world of difference. It’s just the little bumps in the road. The uncaring few that can set you back. I have to think of all the good people I’ve come across recently on my adventures.
